Mercy Johnson reacts to Regina Daniels claims
However, in a post on her Instagram stories, Mercy Johnson shared more details about the arrest, indicating that the individual had been transported from Lagos to Abuja and was reportedly being taken directly from the airport to court.
Mercy Johnson, a close associate of Regina Daniels, expressed serious concerns over what she described as a troubling case of injustice in the ongoing situation.
“The worst form of injustice is pretended justice,” Mercy Johnson wrote. “A child was arrested, no one can or has been allowed to see him for 2 days, he was flown from Lagos to Abuja and is allegedly being taken to court from the airport… How did we get here? Nigeria… Wow.”
Mercy Johnson accompanied her statement with the hashtags #whereissamuel and #freesamuelojeagwu, calling attention to the case and demanding transparency in the legal proceedings.
